mach1chris, In this situation, it's quite apparent you're new here. A hard fast rule you'll learn eventually is that some (not all) gun owners are prone to over-generalized, poorly founded, anti-LEO agendas. They like to lump ALL cops under one label. For the most part, they are unable separate their logical thinking from their own fears and biases regarding LEOs.
All throughout our history, many in our society has felt a need to place some group beneath themselves to feel powerful. Cop-bashing is just another form of prejudice. It's just a prejudice that's deeply rooted in an inability to take responsibility for one's own actions and a need to blame someone else when they get caught doing something they shouldn't be doing or a fear of being caught in the first place. The notion that there's someone watching, that might remind them of their own mistakes or weaknesses, preys on their insecurities to a point of obsession in some.
I'm 50 years old and I've never had a bad experience with an LEO. None of my family has ever had a bad experience with an LEO. None of my close friends, co-workers have had one. The only people I've ever known personally that report a poor experience with an LEO can track that poor experience to some level of their own attitude or the way they presented themselves into the situation.
I've long surmised that you get out what you put in. If you look for trouble, you'll find it.
Are there bad cops out there? Sure. Just as there are bad bus drivers, lawyers, and bad McDonalds burger flippers and Doctors. All have examples of poor behavior that can be found in stories on the internet. Unfortunately, usually, only the bad news makes news. So, when we hear about an LEO, it's usually a bad one. But, bear in mind that there are 10's of thousands of LEOS in this country in all likelihood. Resulting in 10's upon 10's of thousands of LEO/Citizen interactions. We only see/hear about a small fraction. A cop saving a life or comforting someone in need or catching bad guys just doesn't make for a high hit count on YouTube.
